Description
n part 2, Fatima dives into her journey of memorizing the Quran and the challenges she faced along the way. She discusses the importance of community and the role of competition in motivating her to excel. Fatima reflects on the intense process of revision and the breakthrough moment when she finally mastered her lessons. She describes the daunting feeling of nearing completion and the emotions she experienced on the day of her exam. After completing the Quran, she struggled with societal expectations and felt restricted by her status as a Hafidh. She felt pressure to conform to a certain image and struggled with her identity as a teenager. Our conversation emphasizes the need for understanding and support rather than judgment to prevent people from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from their faith. Despite the difficulties, Fatima reflects on the importance of the Quran in her life and how it provided comfort and guidance.
